Weight of En-eviciicf*
Surely With Solomon
When William Jennings Bryan but-
tonholed John Baird, to talk to him
about marrying his daughter, Mary
Elizabeth, in his dilemma^ the young
man sought refuge in the Scriptures,
and began:
“Mr. Baird, I have been reading
Proverbs a good deal lately, and find
that Solomon says, “Whoso flndeth a
Wife, findeth a good thing and obtain-
ed! favor of the Lord.”
Mr. Baird, being something of a
Biblical scholar himself, replied:
"Yea, I believe Solomon did say
that, but Paul suggests that while he
that marrieth doeth well, be that mar-
sristh not doeth better.’’
This was disheartening, chuckled
Mrs. Bryan, recalling the interview—
It Is reported in M. R. Werner’s bi-
ography of her distinguished husband
—but the young man saw his -way
through.
“Solomon would be the better au-
thority upon this point,” rejoined Mr.
Bryan, “because Paul was never mar-
ried, while Solomon had a number of
wives.”
After this friendly tilt the matter
was satisfactorily arranged.—Kansas
City Times.

"Mind” Only Great Need
for Immortal Writing
A discussion of Prof. Lascelles
Abercrombie on the supposed “per-
sistent assumption that this is the day
of the short poem” reminds me, writes
a correspondent to a columnist in the
Manchester Guardian, of the scorn
with which Browning, late in life, re-
ceived a suggestion from a publisher
that what the public would like from
him would be more short poems—
more lyrics. “Pooh,” said Browning.
“Lyrics? I could give you buckets of
them, but they’re not worth the trou-
ble.”
Tennyson regarded “Maud” as the
best of his ptems (though be was very
unwilling to read it aloud, because, if
be did so at all, he liked to read it
right through), but the fact that he
did not write more long poems than
he did was probably due to a very cu-
rious flash of ipsight which caused
him to say once, “I can execute like
IShakespeare, but I have nothing in
me.” This confession may be regard-
ed as the antithesis of Wordsworth’s
(as reported by Lamb) “Says he does
not see much difficulty in writing like
Shakespeare if he had a mind to try
it. It is clear that nothing is wanting
but the mind.”
1 New York, Sept. 29.—James Can-
: non Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, arrived Wednesday
from Brazil on the liner American Le-
' gion to answer charges brought
t against him by four southern clergy-
, men of his denomination.
Bishop Cannon declined to discuss j
i the chai'ges.
“I will say nothing until I have had
an opportunity to read the official doc-
document in the case. I have already
outlined my position and have nothing
j further to say.”
i The Bishop at first declined to see
i newspaper men, but later gave an ex-
j tended interview on prohibition. The
[ bishop left the ship by himself, leav-
j ing his bride of about three months
i remaining aboard.
I Bishop Cannon had declined to pose
i for a photograph and was constantly
bombarded by flashlights as he mov-
| ed about the ship on duties necessary
! to his debarkation.
| While the confusion near the Can-
I non stateroom was at its height the
[ fii’st officer of the liner came rushing
j down from the bridge and announced:
i “Mrs. Cannon is hysterical, and the
I Captain has requested me to ask you
| to leave, so she can regain her calm.
| Then you may approach her again on
1 the dock after she has left the ship.”
| The bishop was asked if he thought
j prohibition had made the United
i States more temperate than it was be-
j foi-e the Eighteenth Amendment was
[ enacted. He said he believed it had,
1 except in cities where there was a
large foreign population.
“Where you find the Roman Catho- j
lie element you find opposition to pro- |
hibition,” the bishop said. “Because ;

Mixture of Many Tongue*
English as spoken in this country
Is derived from many semrees. Our
speech has a Saxon base. Approxi-
mately 20 per cent of the words in
conversational use are derived from
Latin. We nave many literary and
ecclesiastical Latin terms and techni-
cal words derived from the Greek. A
greater part of our household and
poetical words are Saxon. There is a
strong French influence originally in-
troduced by the conquest of the is-
land of Britain by Wiliam the Con-
queror, the duke of Normandy. There
are also in our language numerous
words brought by colonists from the
Netherlands and also Spanish and In-
dian words.

On Approval
The class was standing by their
desks and the teacher was walking
up and down inspecting the children's
books.
On approaching one of the boys,
she noticed a price ticket attached to
his trousers.
“Tommy,” she cried in a tone of
amazement, “do you know you have
a price ticket on your trousers?”
The boy, however, showed no sur-
prise at being told this; instead he
calmly replied:
"Yes, teacher; they might have to
go back tomorrow.”—London Answers.

A Wise Saying
“A man who has sense enough to see
simple things in their true light,” says
Dr. E. T. Bell, “turns the whole
world upside down.” Up to the time
of Galileo, even mathematicians be-
lieved small bodies fell faster than
heavy bodies. But Galileo climbed to
the top of the Leaning Tower of
Pisa, let fall two balls of different
weight and size, and they struck the
ground simultaneously. That simple
fact revolutionized mathematics.
Pleasant Time in Store
The umpire had just made a bad
decision. The crowd was calling him
evil names and hurling pop bottles in
his direction.
"Why don’t you say something?” said
. an irate fan to a quiet, sad-faced spec-
tator who sat near him.
“My time is coming,” replied the
stranger. “The umpire is a relative
of my wife’s and she has asked him
to the house for dinner this evening.”
